I have a big Problem when using Lightroom. I have a Canon 70D. I am photographing manually. I created my own manual white balance, and i am adjusting it on the grid in the settings too. I also set my own Picture Style. This is a setting in which I can manually and directly preset saturation, contrast, color tone and sharpness for the pictures i will take.

To make it short, I created my own adjustments, to make th pictures look different.

As soon as I import them to Lightroom, they load a little while. While they are loading, the preview is normal, looking like it looks on the camera. But once the loading process is finished, the picture suddenly changes color, saturdation contrast, and brightness. I end up with a completely transformed picture.

I can't import pictures anymore, because lightroom basically destroys them. I wrote about all these settings I changed, because I think that this may be the cause, lightroom changes the pictures. Maybe lightroom doesn't have the same adjustments saved, as i have on my camera, and instead applies an automatic white balance or something.

I would be really grateful if someone could explain me how to change lightroom settings in order that the program "takes" the pictures as they are.

I am always making RAW photos. That these settings only apply on JPEG was a good idea, but i checked, and it affects RAW photography too. here is a Picture of an Imported Photo, still loading into Lightroom. A you can see the colors are good. But once it is uploaded, it is suddenly very red.

This is a special case, because I used multiple exposure, making one photo over another. but in the second case, its just a normal picture. hope you can help. thanks

please look closely at the stones on the bottom. They are much darker once the picture is imported, and there is less saturation.

It looks to me the initial image you are seeing is from the built in, included, JPG preview recorded inside a RAW file and once LR gets done reading the real RAW file it builds its own preview which will not include the In Camera settings you have applied. To my knowledge this is true for 99% of cameras on the market today. None of the In Camera settings are carried over to the RAW files, they wouldn't be RAW files if they were carried over. RAW is RAW sensor data with no in camera processing.

Now I may be wrong as the only Canon camera I own is an older S90 P&S but no matter what In Camera settings I have set the RAW file is still the RAW file and does not show those In Camera settings.

thats not good :/ so there is basicly nothing i can do about it? bu why does the image turn so red?? and, i just noticed. If I import the same picture into another Program, Aperture or iPhoto, it turns completely green instead. What is that??

I am watching the free TerryWhite videos on learning LRCC 2017. In Part 5 (the 2nd video in that part...there are two parts), Terry address your very issue and explains how to fix it. The fix is in the Camera Calibration when you take that photo into "Develop" mode.

When you watch the you tube video (it is TerryWhite twitch/adobe tv....it is approx 3/4 of the way through part 5 that you will see your explanation and answer.
